I've been sticking to the $2 tournaments and the .50/1 limit tables.

The play is pretty bad. not Party Poker bad, but worse than Poker Stars. I have been doing well, only leaving a couple of ring games without a profit. Solid play against bad players calling with bad draws.

I can't figure out how to get hand histories.

I think the play, my positive bankroll and the promise of FTR tournaments will keep me there. But it would suck if I can't post hand histories because they don't offer them.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

 The 35% bonus is nice, they pay it out quicker than other places like Full Tilt. The players are ok, they have low minimum tables when you don't feel like risking a lot of cash. The tables only seat 9 players, I prefer 10 but that probably isn't a big deal.

Sucks. I downloaded the software months ago when it was brand new. I filled out all the stuff. I go to deposit with Neteller and it said I was missing fields. All fields were filled. Last week, tried to deposit again. Same thing. Told support about it and they told me to contact Neteller.

Guess I would have to uninstall the software and try again. They can blow me. There are plenty of other places to play.

i for one don't like the graphics. WAY too colourful it's distracting. the chip betting sound effects some too 'heavy' if you know what i mean.

Humphrind,

Hand histories - click on Menu, then on Guest Relations. The bad thing is that only ring games are supported in Poker Tracker, if you use that. Tournament play is not supported by PT.

I like the site ok. They have a nice selection of low limit tourneys if you are into that. The thing I don't like - they don't really have that many .25/.50 and .50/1.00 10-man limit rings. Usually just one each.

I look forward to FTR events there also.

Do it in the lobby, not the game window.

Thanks. I've been looking for that for a while.

Why wouldn't they have that in the game window?

I play there a lot, mostly because they always offer 15% Neteller deposit bonuses up. If you can play 2000 hands pretty quick, you can collect $200 bonus almost every weekend. It takes me about a week to play 1000 hands there, but I like to play with some form of rake rebate.

The drawback is that you can't withdraw while collecting the bonuses.

Forgot to mention - one thing I don't like about absolute is that most people there play on 6 max tables. I prefer a full ring and many times I can't find a .25/.50 limit game to play on there.
